Activity

Listen to the song and complete the lyrics

Come up to meet you, tell you

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to

Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me

Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a

apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it

this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just

At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and

Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you

Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails

as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it

so hard

I'm going back to the start
